The revolver is top notch, but that is to be expected from Smith & Wesson. I keep returning to Bud’s gun store because they are also top notch. Bud’s is on the other side of the country from me but their online ordering system is the best.

This is the second S&W M638 I've bought from Bud's. I carry the first in my satchel as a concealed carry. Because of illness I have very little hand and arm strength and the Airweight is a perfect weight for me.The factory trigger pull is heavy so I've had a trigger job done on the first and will do the same with this one which will be bedside home protection. The revolver solves the problem I have with racking an automatic..I've replaced the original grip with one that fits my hand better.

Loved doing business with Bud's. This was my first purchase from them and it was so easy. I received my M638 in about two days.

This is about my 5th time doing business with Buds. The service is the best. The 638 was better than I thought it would be. It is lightweight and can be used as a pocket pistol. That is what I wanted. I have the reliability of a revolver that can be easily concealed. My 380 was questionable. Ftfs happening occasionally. The double action is not that difficult to use. Single action just right. This small and light weight revolver will now become my primary carry gun.

I do like S&W's J-frames and this one did not disappoint at all.
After viewing Hickok45's part 2 video on the S&W Model 638 "Bodyguard", I had to have one!!!
The ability to fire in either DA or SA while having a shrouded hammer spur is a huge plus too.

From a long time Bud's customer and a concealed weapons permit holder this is one one my favorite revolvers. The S&W J frames have always been reliable, accurate for this class of firearm and easily carried concealed. The model 638 is my normal choice due to the fact I can fire it either via single or double action without the hammer catching on clothing. With a good pocket holster I have instant access and comfortable carry so I use it daily when dressed for warmer weather. The gun is +p rated and is with me daily when a larger firearm is harder to conceal. Bud's, for you folks new to online purchases is the best there is when it comes to service, stock available, price and quick turnaround. If you need an every day carry piece this one is great choice for men or women because of simplicity to learn, reliability and ease of carry.
